Money was clearly no limitation for the lavish and star-studded wedding ceremony of top Chinese stars Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy. It was as luxurious and over-the-top as Jay Chou‘s nuptials to Hannah Quinlivan last year, minus only the English castle backdrop but plus dozens more celebrity guests since it wasn’t a destination wedding. The newlyweds actually got married officially a … Continue reading →
